I have calenders on my mind... First I contributed to the one my sister-in-law makes for my dad. Then I started working on ones for our moms (who are all about the grandkids). But, don't think I forgot about all of you...no, no no. For you I made two!For those of you who need a lot of space for writing (like me), I have a large (13"x19") premium size calendar which is available here through Lulu.

And, if you need a desk- size version I have a special treat! A lovely calendar full of my 12 favorite polaroids from the last year. It is in my shop and on my website. I am printing it myself on the softest, thickest, most luxurious paper I have found. It has really been a labor of love, and I am so happy with the results. I will be bringing them as hostess gifts to all my holiday parties. And, now you can too!Happy Monday!

I spent a lot of this week cleaning, both my house and my photo files, quietly preparing for the rush of the next few weeks. In my search I came across these three. I love the simple softness they all have, fitting for this time I have spent reflecting over the last year.

These may be my most favorite polaroids of the year. Shot one after the other, in the very last moments of autumn sunlight. Suddenly the leaves all left there trees, and the snow started. It feels like winter today. More favorites here...

I am trying to focus on my people skills this week. Another wedding is coming up very soon. So, we rested here for a long time after her ride, happy to be warmed by the sun, and among friends.

In unrelated, random news... I am having a sale on my mini prints through the end of the month. And, wondering if I can talk my husband into this project for N.J.'s dresser.Hope you have a great weekend! I hear there may be snow coming... a few flakes anyway.

Apparently because I was running around getting ready so early this morning excited as can be, J.K. thought today was the day we were going to the BOAT. When I finally realized our miscommunication I tried my best to explain in 3 year old terms the significance of our choices today. But, no matter how you put it, voting never sounds as fun as boating.

Today is the nicest Monday. The weather is gorgeous, and I get to share with you all something that I am really excited about. A few weeks ago, one of my favorite photographers, Susannah Conway asked me to partner with her for a little project. How could I resist. Susannah and I live across the ocean from each other, but we both share a fondness for quiet beaches which is enough information for me to consider someone a friend. Our talking (emailing) has evolved into our favorite things, with both of us using our trusty sx70's to share our loves with you. We don't talk about what we will be shooting next week. So what ends up there is going to be a lovely discovery for us all.We will post a new Polaroid diptych each week, to make all the Mondays good days. So please stop back soon...
